At what age does being skinny start to look bad?

Better skinny than fat when you get older. Less health problems.

Actually it is better to be a little plump in old age.

Judging by my friends, around 55.

I vote this as most toxic thread on DCUM.

This is correct. If you become ill, you want a little fat on you.

It looks bad about two months from death. Before that skinny is always better.

There is literally no lengths some overweight women will not go to crap on thin women to make themselves feel better. Work on your own selves!

I don’t understand the ass/face trade off. Both my face and my ass look better with a little more volume.

I think around 40.

Being thin in your 20s-early 30s looks different than thin in your 40s+

As you age, the fat padding under your skin decreases. This is noticeable in the face of thin women over 40, but also in their hands, wrists, décolletage. Even if you are diligent in lifting weights to maintain muscle mass, you will still appear more bony in some places.

What are you talking about? Women in their 40s look great these days.

Not saying you can’t look great. Just that as thin women age, areas that don’t have a lot of muscle appear more bony- which is aging.

This is the truth. I honestly think this thread was started by a woman in her 40s or 50s who is struggling with menopausal weight gain, but has a sister/friend/neighbor who is the same age but has stayed thin, whether due to genetics or luck or working at it.

She started this thread because she feels bad about herself and envies this other woman who is thin, and rather than looking into that and asking if maybe she can be kinder to herself or is overemphasizing the important of being thin, she's literally just thinking "when will this skinny woman be considered as ugly as I currently feel?"

It's sad. There is not a war between thin women and fat women, folks. Learn to love yourself. Other people's bodies are none of your business.

Agree- I think it's about mid 40s when it begins to show objectively so probably around 40 when it begins. Even if you have perfect skin and a fantastic body, the parts that originally don't have a lot between the bones and skin (hands, neck, knees, also areas like eyes and cheek begins to thin and look sunk/gaunt). All of this is very gradual year by year so not immediately noticeable but I do think this process tends to happen later for people with extra pounds.
